WiQo nourishing and moisturizing creams contain shea butter, wheat germ oil, jojoba oil, grapeseed oil, vitamin E, and vitamin A. Compared to other plant oils, Shea butter has one of the highest content of unsaponifiables, i.e. the fraction that cannot be extracted by saponification.
The unsaponifiable fraction of Shea butter ensures natural UV protection, metabolic stimulation of fibroblasts, which results in the production of soluble collagen and elastin, and the repair of skin irritated by dermatitis. This fraction can range from 3.5 to 17% and its quality depends on this percentage. A higher percentage means better moisturizing and soothing properties.
WiQo nourishing and moisturizing creams contain a large amount of top-quality Shea butter (which is higher in creams for dry skin). Jojoba oil is another essential ingredient of this formulation. This oil is extracted by squeezing simmondsia chinensis seeds. Simmondsia chinensis is a shrub that grows in dry, hot areas. It contains vitamins A, F, and E, minerals including zinc, copper, and iodine, and it acts as a natural sunscreen. It maintains skin hydration and oxygenates the sebaceous follicles, thereby preventing folliculitis.
Wheat germ oil is extracted from triticum sativum shoots and contains vitamins A, E, and D, oleic acid, linoleic acid. It nourishes, restores tissues, and strengthens the hydrolipid film of the skin. Grapeseed oil is rich in antioxidants, thanks to linoleic acid and polyphenols. It is dermoprotective because it is rich in Vitamin E, it stimulates capillary microcirculation, and it is emollient, elasticising, firming, and astringent.
And finally, the echinacea angustifolia extract is a plant derivative with tightening and firming properties. It slows down the natural degradation of hyaluronic acid in the tissues and accelerates tissue regeneration. All these precious properties are contained in one everyday beauty product.
